This 1948 Lincoln Continental Coupe was the last year of production

　　and has been restored to be a terrific tour car that can be shown

　　at local shows. This is a CCCA Full Classic which makes it eligible

　　to participate in CARavans and concours events. The trend-setting

　　design by Edsel Ford and Bob Gregorie made the Post War Lincolns

　　very sought after by Hollywood stars and the elite such as Frank

　　Lloyd Wright and Jackie Cooper. This Lincoln has had several

　　long-time owners and was on display for nearly a decade at the

　　Franklin Automotive Museum in Tucson, AZ. It has been well

　　maintained and restored as needed including mechanical upgrades to

　　optimize it for rally events. It needs little to be shown and

　　toured. This Lincoln was acquired new and enjoyed for years by a

　　Dentist in South Carolina. It made its way to Texas and then was

　　acquired by a gentleman in the 1960s in Tucson, AZ where it was

　　toured and shown for many years. The Tucson owner maintained the

　　Lincoln well and had the motor rebuilt and made numerous updates

　　over the years. The Lincoln was acquired approximately 15 years ago

　　by the Franklin Automotive Museum in Tucson, AZ where it was on

　　display for eight years. The Lincoln was then acquired in March of

　　2016 by Michael McClure of Queen Valley, AZ. Mr. McClure has made

　　numerous mechanical upgrades to the Lincoln and has toured and

　　rallied the Lincoln extensively, adding over 20,000 miles. The

　　livery of this Lincoln is a beautiful Opal Blue Green (Paint Code

　　M-14154). The body appears to be very straight, and the paint has a

　　very nice luster and shine. This is what we would call a tour

　　quality restoration with very nice cosmetics and an emphasis on

　　dependability. The chrome and bright work show very well overall

　　with minor imperfections. The bustle back trunk is complete with a

　　rear mount spare which gave way to the popular after-market

　　Continental Kits. Another beautiful feature is the circular push

　　button door releases which help streamline the sleek exterior look.

　　The wide white wall tires and chrome wheel covers show well and add

　　to the beautiful classic look of this stunning Lincoln. The

　　interior is finished in green vinyl and gray nylon cord upholstery

　　which is comfortable and shows well overall. The green Wilton nylon

　　Carpet is in nice condition, showing minor wear only in high

　　traffic areas. The dash, gauges and interior chrome are all in nice

　　condition. The AM radio is in nice condition and the hydraulic

　　power windows work well. The gauges all function properly apart

　　from the radio and the clock. A beautifully designed feature is the

　　circular push button door releases which streamline the interior as

　　they do on the exterior. The interior shows well overall and is

　　very comfortable. The engine compartment is nicely detailed and

　　painted and shows well overall. The 1946 through 1948 Lincolns were

　　the only post war American car produced with a V-12 engine. The 292

　　ci Flathead V-12 produces 125 hp and the power is transferred to

　　the rear differential through the 3-speed on the column manual

　　transmission with freewheeling overdrive which shifts smoothly and

　　operates quietly. The V-12 motor was rebuilt approximately 30k

　　miles ago by H&H Flatheads in La Crescenta, CA and runs strong

　　and well. The current owner has rebuilt and upgraded the entire

　　drivetrain from the flywheel back using hardened bearings making

　　this Lincoln tour ready. The Lincoln comes with numerous parts

　　included in the sale. This 1948 Lincoln is a gorgeous example and

　　is ready to be enjoyed, toured, and shown. For more information and
